“As Leonid Brezhnev said, congratulating Anatoly Karpov in his time:“ If you take the crown, hold it ”.

I don't know what Karpin's thoughts were connected with.

Maybe it was coquetry, maybe a search for preferences, or maybe he just decided to think it over.

Be that as it may, this is true.

Karpin must coach the team.

We really hope that we will get to the World Championship.

I wish Karpin fortitude, fortitude and good football players! "

- quotes Guberniev Sport24.
